ohmrchristopher Posted May 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 12, 2012 Last night I threw on about 80% of my parts. Stabalizer mount bushings Stabalizer end links Driver upper control arm bushings (didnt realize I needed 4 in total, 2 per side) Energy Suspension Ultra Low profile bump stops, bolts right in no cutting down old ones Speedo cable, but its read 2x faster Pinto front shocks, removing the metal bushings is a PITA, also the shocks are more narrow at the base so mounting them pinched in the arm Removed push bar Painted behind the grille black Ill throw up some pictures tonight as I tackle the rear springs. Still need some more parts. Adjustable reamer is on its way. Quote Link to comment

ohmrchristopher Posted May 21, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2012 So I am putting all my new parts on, putting in steering linkages (ball-joints) just wondering what you guys like to torque them too? Manual says 40-70 ft-lbs, everything is new, I have 2 fiber lock-nuts and 4 cotter pin ones. I have taken them all up to 40 ft-lbs and they seem to be solid, I may bump them up tonight to 55? however I dont like them being too tight that i cannot get them apart. Quote Link to comment
moparvwfreak Posted May 21, 2012 Report Share Posted May 21, 2012 nice truck! i do have an idea for the heater hoses. i did this on my black 73 and it works great. there is a product by goodyear, its a coil so you can bend your heater hoses and they will stay in the shape you bend em to. heres a link to one, summit has 3 different ones though. 1/2 inch, 5/8, and 3/4. i cant remember off hand but i have em on my truck. work good for routing the heater hoses right. http://www.summitracing.com/parts/GTR-GY34UBP/ Quote Link to comment
ohmrchristopher Posted May 21, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2012 Thanks and thanks! I just ordered OEM from Nissan. At $20 each its not too bad a price. Truck is back together, rolling and running. Looks like the wheel just showed up too. Quote Link to comment
ohmrchristopher Posted May 22, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 22, 2012 Well all the work is done, I have fixed everything that I was required to, and then some, to pass inspection. Didnt take much for pictures cause I was too busy stressing to get everything done. But here is what I do have.Edit bad images. Quote Link to comment

Z chopper Posted July 4, 2012 Report Share Posted July 4, 2012 jeez I read on a another thread that you got some jdm rims, now no updates with them mounted..................... Quote Link to comment
ohmrchristopher Posted July 5, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 5, 2012 Buy me some tires then :P Updates in 20min!!! Quote Link to comment
Z chopper Posted July 5, 2012 Report Share Posted July 5, 2012 did I say anything about tires?? jack the truck up and mount one of your new rims on it to get an idea of what they would look like Quote Link to comment
ohmrchristopher Posted July 5, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 5, 2012 Sooo not a lot has happened, that I have had my camera out for :/I angled my 3" blocks a 1/2" and had a drive shaft fabbed up. Major props to datzenmike, without him I would have no shaft and in a mess of fuss.Currently I have the truck plated, and driving daily. I fixed my heating inside the cab, and now have hot heat for the winter months.I have also bought a set of 5 Osaka made 2 piece rims, 15x10.0" JJ with an offset of -39, tires, mounting, pulling and stretching pending lol.

Z chopper Posted July 5, 2012 Report Share Posted July 5, 2012 looks like ZG flares are needed Quote Link to comment
ohmrchristopher Posted July 6, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 6, 2012 flares are for the titanic Quote Link to comment
Z chopper Posted July 6, 2012 Report Share Posted July 6, 2012 yeah but looking at how far those rims stick out, the police would be giveing you a fix it or maybe a fine for exeeding the fender that much. flares would be cheaper than the fine. Quote Link to comment
Siqx20 Posted July 6, 2012 Report Share Posted July 6, 2012 that much poke out the fender would look stupid in my opinion. flares might make it look better. If it was me i would re-barrel those wheels so they actually semi fit. Thats the point of 2 piece wheel. lol Quote Link to comment
